My Three Lords by Juniper Bell

How is one innocent country girl to choose between a Duke, a Marquis and an Earl? Must she?

When Miss Alicia Silverwood marries the Earl of Dorchester, he whisks her off to Notre Plaisir, a country manor where erotic surprises await in the company of three powerful lords.

The young Earl needs a wife and heir. The cynical Marquis de Beaumont needs a playmate. And the commanding Duke of Warrington needs a reason to live. As for the new Lady Dorchester, she’s about to discover the true nature of her own sensual needs. On top of that, she’s falling in love.

It might take a miracle for Lady Alicia and her three lords to come to an arrangement that makes them all happy. Or perhaps all that’s required is a little scandalous rule-breaking.

What's a Lady to do when her naughtiest fantasies are revealed to her, and they are far beyond what she ever expected?

Lady Alicia is in a quandary, and what a glorious one to be in. Her husband, the Earl, has been convinced that he wouldn’t be good enough for her first bedding, so he instructs his friend (the instigator in this whole plot), the Marquis, to seduce and tease her, then the Earl takes over the deflowering. Eventually their friend, the Duke comes into the picture. He offers Alicia all that she could ever want, but you’ll have to read this yourself to find out what!

I really enjoyed this book. I was a little shocked actually. I have been leery of reading any historicals lately, but Ms. Bell was able to make me forget and just enjoy the story. She made the characters believable - Alicia’s haughtiness, the Earl’s obsession with his horses, the Marquis’ playboy-esque mentality, and the Duke’s despair.

Ms. Bell had me gobbling up this story from the first page. It was incredibly hot and steamy. Despite the fact that one of my hot buttons was pushed, I was easily able to overcome any concerns I had, and desperately enjoyed the story.

This is a highly recommended read, for all those who enjoy when everyone wins, when the foreplay is enough to make you squirm and shake, and when the love shines through and makes you grin.

RATING EXPLANATION:

1 Star -- At this time, we at Whipped Cream do not post these reviews. If the book was boring, badly edited, poorly written, had little or no plot, stilted dialogue, and/or unsympathetic characters, we will decline the review.

2 Stars -- Not wonderful, but tolerable. There may be some minor editing glitches but not enough to stop you reading. Not a wall-banger, but nothing you'd re-read. This is a book you would borrow from the library - not buy- and never check out again.

3 Stars -- Good. Mostly enjoyable. You made it through and didn't consider it a waste of time or money. The story was strong enough or the conflict tight enough, so even when the book faltered, it was able to draw you back in and keep you. There's a chance you'll recommend it to a friend, but it wouldn't go on your keeper shelf.

4 Stars-- Very Good. You're glad you were the one who got to review this book. You would probably buy it and would definitely recommend it to your friends. You liked the characters and the plot. The writing style was good and the editing clean.

5 Stars -- Great! You would definitely buy this book. You would definitely recommend it to your friends. You really loved the characters and the plot and would consider looking for this authors back list or making her an autobuy. The writing and editing were superb.

WC Best Book - For a book or story that is truly exceptional. You think about it when you're not reading it. You wonder what happens to the characters when you finish. You would absolutely buy everything else this author had to offer. The highest praise - and reserved for only a few.
